A team has been formed to carry out full-scale intelligence based operations (IBOs) in the capital of Pakistani province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) against people placed in the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act. The team comprises representatives of different agencies.
Individuals from nine banned organisations have been identified for their involvement in
terror activities.
According to the list, a sum of Rs10mn each in head money is announced for two key Lashkar-e-Islam commanders – Mangal Bagh and Abdul Wali – as well as two other key members of TTP (Gidarh group).
Officials said bounty ranging from Rs500,000 to Rs8mn has been also announced for different individuals. They said details have been shared with the team and operations will be carried out in such a way to ensure that all the identified individuals
are arrested in the next few days.
According to official sources, individuals have been categorised into four groups with 75 hardcore militants placed in category ‘A’, 45 in category ‘B’, 83 others said to be militants’ associates or facilitators in category ‘C’ list. Around 249 individuals are yet to be categorised.
They said 189 individuals, including three females, belong to the TTP, a total of 203 belong to Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, Millat-e-Islami Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and some 32 belong to Tehreek-e-Jafria Pakistan, Islami Tehreek Pakistan, Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan and Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen.
The list includes names of 10 individuals associated with Khuddam-Ul-Islam and
Jaish-e-Muhammad.
Earlier, a list carrying names of 5,363 individuals from the K-P placed in the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act was shared with the federal
government.
However, it was speculated that the federal government will be facing problems to move against at least 2,625 of such individuals since key information about them is not available.
The list, shared on November 21, contained names of people belonging to different walks of life. In addition, the November 21 list provides names of 4,573 individuals from the TTP, 455 from Sipah-e-Sahaba, Millat-e-Islami Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, 117 from Tehreek-e-Jafria Pakistan, Islami Tehreek Pakistan, Sipah-e-Muhammad Pakistan and Majlis-e-Wahdatul Muslimeen and 75 belonged to Khuddamul Islam and Jaish-e-Muhammad.
The list also carries names of 95 individuals repatriated from Afghanistan, 67 associated with the Tehreek-e-Nifaz Shariat-e-Muhammadi, 20 of Harkatul Mujahideen, 12 of Lashkar-e-Taiba apart for 103 other criminals.
